Body:
1997 M3 Sedan. Alpine white exterior with Black leather interior. 143,XXX chassis miles. 

Engine:
The previous owner spared no expense for this car. It previously had a VAC built S52 with an AA twin screw super charger coupled with a built auto trans.

This was removed and replaced with an S54B32 from a 2004 M3 with 42,000 miles. We pulled the VIN number to confirm factory maintenance. The rod bearing recall was performed at 21,000 miles along with new fuel injectors. It was also from an SMG car so there is no chance for a misshift. Perfect candidate for our swap. 

S54B32-- 3.2liter inline 6 cylinder motor. Dual vanos. Dual oil pick up. Oil cooler. 6 individual throttle bodies. 8,000 rpm redline on factory tune. 333hp factory. 

This engine is running off the factory MSS54 ECU. The car is equipped with an e46 electronic gas pedal for precise petal modulation. The car had EWS flashed out during the tune to make it comparable with the e36 chassis. Secondary O2s and the secondary airpump injection system were also flashed out. 

When the engine was out, the oil filter housing gasket was replaced as preventative maintenance. The O-rings for the oil cooler lines were also replaced. The car is using the 335i oil cooler mounted to the bottom of the radiator. 

E46 remote coolant expansion tank and mounting bracket. Self bleeding, a huge plus if you've ever worked on a typical e36 cooling system. 

The S54 has CSL replica headers, professionally touched up with a tig welder by KG Made in Marietta. These headers are beautiful! 

All fluids are brand new including Red Line synthetic 10w-60 motor oil, Genuine BMW blue coolant, and power steering fluid. 

All belts are new. 

The engine currently has an 8,300 rpm redline. 

The engine runs on 5bar of fuel pressure utilizing an e46 fuel filter and pressure regulator system. 

Currently no cruise control or windshield washer jets (can retrofit). 

Exhaust:

Custom CSL replica headers (professionally touched up by KG Made), custom midsection with X-pipe (by Performance Muffler of Norcross), all mated to a like new Active Autoworks cat back exhaust. Warning: the exhaust currently does not have catalytic converters or resonators. It is very quiet and drives very nice but please make sure you obey all traffic laws in your area. Contact me to discuss in more detail. Thanks. 

Transmission:

Originally an automatic, converted to a 5 speed during the S54 conversion. 

55,000 mile ZF trans from a 98 M3. 
Brand new Sachs OE genuine BMW clutch kit (pressure plate, clutch disc, and throw out bearing)
Brand new plastic pivot pin and spring clip. 
Brand new shifter selector shaft seal and shifter selector bushing. 
Delrin front shifter carrier bushing. 
B&M short shifter with new M-shift knob. 
Brand new rear carrier bushing for the body. 
Guibo/flex disc in great condition. 
Transmission mounts in great condition.
3.91 rear end. (Will sell with 3.23)

Suspension:
Brand new AST 4100 coilover suspension. 525/650r spring rates. Height and rebound dampening adjustable. AST camber plates up front. AST ball bearing  rear shock mounts with reinforcement rings. 

Turner Motorsports adjustable rear control arms. 

Power flex rear trailing arm bushings. 

(Note: Can sell the car on Bilstein Sport shock and struts front and rear)

Wheels:

ARC-8 Hyper Silver 17x9 all around with 255/40/17 Bridgestone tires. 

(Note: Can sell the car with factory staggard M-Contour wheels with 245/40/17 rear tires and 225/45/17 up front)

Brakes:
Factory BMW rotors and pads with ~50% life remaining. 
Stainless steel brake lines. 
ABS functions properly and stops very straight with no issues. 

Interior:

Black interior. The headliner is still intact and is not saggy. The door panels are also intact and not bubbling or delaminating. Even the glove box does not have the typical e36 sag. The interior is very clean. No mysterious odors and smells like a BMW should. 

All the interior lights work as they should. 

Windows function as should, and the one touch function works as it should. 

Side view mirrors function properly. 

Exterior:

European ellipsoid projector headlights with 4300k hid bulbs. 

Clear front, side and rear Euro turn signals assemblies. 

Fog lights work as they should. 

All tail light, turn signals, brake lights, and license plate lights work as they should. 

Rust free body. Very straight and clean. Minimal to no door dings. No major dents or dings. Front bumper does need a respray. Can address before the sale. Fenders have minor chipping near the tires due to being lowered on the AST 4100s. 

Motorsports X-brace for chassis reinforcement and oil pan protection. 

Motion Motorsports aluminum under paneling for proper airflow and cooling. Most durable under paneling on the market. Far surpasses that of OE. 

No tint on the windows. 

No cracks or pits in the windshield. 

Sunroof motor works as it should. 

Moldings and trim are clean and tight to the body like they should be.

BMW i creates high-design solar charging carport

Fri, 09 May 2014

With the first deliveries of the i3 under way, and the recent i8 press launch, the marketing push in the US for the BMW electric sub-brand has begun. These i vehicles are supposed to have a completely different feel from the rest of the brand's lineup. To complement their earth-friendly ethos, the Bavarian company commissioned BMW Group DesignworksUSA in California to create a solar carport concept that could keep the models sustainably topped up on power. It premiered alongside the i8 in Los Angeles at the electric sports coupe's media launch.
At first glance, the BMW i Solar Carport Concept looks like a pergola from a winery or a well-groomed garden, but like the i vehicles, the deeper you look, the more high-tech features there are. The sides feature carbon elements in a similar way that the i3 and i8 have a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic body. Bamboo forms the uprights because its quick-growing nature makes it rather sustainable, and the solar panels are strung along the top to harness energy.
Obviously the sun can't provide all of the energy that the electric cars need, and a BMW Wallbox Pro charger is also connected to the power grid as a supplement. It includes a readout telling users the amount of solar energy versus municipal electricity it's using.

BMW M4 Concept leaked ahead of Monterey debut

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Last month, we heard that BMW might be bringing a concept previewing its next M4 sports coupe to this year's Monterey festivities. Well, thanks to the folks at USA Today, we have absolute confirmation of this by way of some leaked images. And goodness, she's certainly a looker.
While a few of us still find some of the 4 Series' design to be a bit awkward, it's hard to not immediately warm up to the aggressive bits of this hotter M4 concept. It certainly looks the business of a proper sports car, and a worthy successor to the M3 coupe. Of course, a lot of this will likely be toned down for the production version, which we'll likely be seeing at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January, along with its four-door M3 kin.
The official M4 Concept details will be revealed later tonight, but for now, have a look at a few shots of the golden show car in our gallery of leaked shots, above.

BMW recalls over 76k 2012-2014 models over brake failure

Sat, 28 Sep 2013

Bimmerfest is reporting that BMW has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of its intention to voluntarily recall more than 75,000 3 Series, 5 Series, X1, X3 and Z4 models due to a possible loss of power brake assist that could result in the vehicles failing to stop. The recall affects 2012-2014 models equipped with either the N20 or N26 engine produced from May 2012 to August 2013. Until recall repairs have been performed, BMW dealers will discontinue selling or delivering any affected vehicles in their inventories.
The problem has been traced to restricted oil supply from the intake camshaft to the brake vacuum pump, which may cause the brake vacuum pump to fail, resulting in a loss of power brake assist. While the hydraulic brakes will still function, the driver must much apply greater pedal pressure and the distance required to stop the vehicle will increase.
BMW has reported three minor accidents with no confirmed injuries. According to Bimmerfest, drivers who encounter a braking problem should "pull the emergency brake and apply as much brake pedal pressure as possible. If your BMW has an electronic parking brake pull up and hold the switch to engage the brake." Drivers should then park in a safe location and contact BMW Roadside Assistance.
